I would like to introduce you all to Sookie.
http://www.catster.com/cats/992558
She lives with Chip and my daughter and her fiancee in AZ. She was 7 months old when the adopted her. According to the shelter her and another cat were "confiscated". She had a litter that was stolen by the other cat.
I'm so proud of my daughter. 2 weeks after coming to live with them Sookie got very sick, at first we thought it was just your typical upper respiratory infection from being in a shelter...well $5,000 later and a week in the hospital, Sookie got to come home to stay. She is not infectious but will have a runny nose and eyes and must take medication for life. But as of my visit last weekend is a very happy, loving kitty.
